Sticky footer for react with react-router-dom

Question

I need a really clean and simple solution for an issue I always run into, that I can continue using in other projects as well. I need a sticky footer that works with react-router-dom. I can't seem to get it working. My App.js looks like this:

  <div>
    <Header loaded={loaded} />
    <Switch>
      <Route
        path="/about"
        render={props => <About loaded={loaded} {...props} />}
      />
      <Route
        exact
        path="/"
        render={props => <MainPage loaded={loaded} {...props} />}
      />
      <Redirect to="/" />
    </Switch>
    <Footer />
  </div>

How would you go about making the footer sticky? Thanks!

I ran into a way better solution for working with a sticky footer around react-router-dom using flex-box.

App.js:

  <div id="container">
    <Header loaded={loaded} />
    <div id="main-content">
      <Switch>
        <Route
          path="/about"
          render={props => <About loaded={loaded} {...props} />}
        />
        <Route
          exact
          path="/"
          render={props => <MainPage loaded={loaded} {...props} />}
        />
        <Redirect to="/" />
      </Switch>
    </div>
    <Footer />
  </div>

app.css

#container {
  display: flex;
  min-height: 100vh;
  flex-direction: column;
}

#main-content {
  flex: 1;
}

I hope this will help someone in the future.
